In 2011, a remake of Space Quest II was launched, featuring improvements in graphics and gameplay, while including new animation sequences and a full voice cast for characters.

The story takes place several months after the events of Space Quest I, with players assuming the role of Roger Wilco, a janitor who saved his homeworld of Xenon from disaster by destroying a potent weapon known as the Star Generator and killing the Sariens that stole it.

Contacted by his superiors to clean up a mess on a recently arrived shuttle, Roger finds himself ambushed in the station's hangar bay, where he is knocked out and abducted by unknown assailants.

When he regains consciousness, he finds himself a prisoner on an asteroid base orbiting the jungle planet of Labion, run by Sludge Vohaul - a former scientist of Xenon.

Shrunk down in size, and trapped in a glass jar, Roger manages to break out, and infiltrates a life-support machine that has helped to keep Vohaul alive over the years.

Finding the pod cannot keep him alive forever, Roger enters cryo sleep to conserve oxygen while awaiting someone to rescue him, as the capsule drifts across space.

Therefore, it can be assumed Space Quest II sold over 100,000 copies, thus earning the SPA (Software Publishers Association) Gold Medal.
